Nikmat

Salam alaik,

Finished my Surgery rotation. Now I'm with RPH/Bentley (yes, Bently Hosp) for Geriatric- 'elderly' medicine.

So here I was, sitting in Blue CAT (free bus transport within the city area) to go home. At the stop number 19, a few people got in. There was this one lady, cheerful- who greeted everyone and anyone. When all the passengers are in, I realized that there were 2 carers with a few special adults who just got in.

From what I can guess, these are adults of the age probably around 30s... and one 60s I think, and my heart went to them.
These are the innocent people, as innocent as a baby.
These are special persons...

Sometimes, we take things for granted. We are blessed with high IQ (you are studying in uni aren't you? Isn't that a proof enough?), we're blassed with the ability to think, speak, see and hear.
So have we used our abilities to seek knowledge, to think and to learn?

IT IS GOD who has created the heavens and the earth and all that is between them in six aeons, and is established on the throne of His almightiness.
You have none to protect you from God, and none to intercede for you [on Judgment Day]: will you not, then, bethink yourselves? [As-Sajjadah (32):4]


And in that [hell] they will cry aloud: "O our Sustainer! Cause us to come out [of this suffering]! We shall [henceforth] do good deeds, not such as we were wont to do [aforetime]!" [But We shall answer:] "Did We not grant you a life long enough so that whoever was willing to take thought could bethink himself? And [withal,] a war­ner had come unto you! Taste, then, [the fruit of your evil deeds]: for evildoers shall have none to succour them!" [Faathir (35): 37]

Will you not, then, bethink yourselves? [As-Saffat (37):155]
